Scott Stringer Feels Very Safe In Andrew Cuomo's Strong Arms

Love this quote from City Comptroller Scott Stringer, sucking up to Andrew Cuomo:

Gov. Andrew Cuomo over the weekend received some warm words from New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer.

Later today, he will be attending a roundtable discussion with U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.

Both Stringer and Jeffries just happen to be potential mayoral candidates and rivals to the incumbent, Bill de Blasio.

Stringer on Sunday singled out Cuomo for praise during an event hosted by Sen. Adriano Espaillat.

“Governor, it’s been so good having you in New York City, protecting all of us,” Stringer said.

Oh thank you, Governor, I just feel so safe knowing that you superseded incompetent Mayor de Blasio in the current health crisis facing the city

Just like when you closed the subway for the snowmaggedon that wasn't without telling incompetent Mayor de Blasio and superseded incompetent Mayor de Blasio on the Ebola crisis even though incompetent Mayor de Blasio, you know, was handling it the right way without trying to spew FEAR across the city.

I get it - de Blasio's bleeding in the water, so the sharks are circling.

But Stringer's suck-up to Cuomo is extra nauseating for it's, well, nauseatingness.

Come on, man, can't you suck up to Cuomo without sounding freaking pathetic?

Bloomberg's Legacy

Corporate media journalists continue to suck up to Mayor Bloomberg in print, writing all kinds of glowing articles about the mayor's "legacy".

Capital NY has a rundown of the latest "legacy pieces" here.

One thing missing from all these pieces is an accurate assessment of Bloomberg's 12 years in office.

How can any self-respecting journalist write a Bloomberg "legacy piece" and not include these items

Phonied up crime stats.

Phonied up test scores and grad rates.

CityTime.

The 911 system boondoggle.

The Boxer Day Blizzard.

Seriously - the worst fraud ever perpetrated against New York City (CityTime) isn't mentioned, the $2 billion 911 system boondoggle that is now 12 years in the making, 10 years over schedule, hundreds of million over budget, and responsible for the death of a four year old on the Upper West Side isn't mentioned, the bullshit stats from crime to fire fatalities to emergency response times to the school data is never mentioned, the mayor's incompetence in dealing with the Bloomberg Boxer Day Blizzard is never mentioned.

These are Bloomberg's legacy as much as bike lanes or the complete transformation of Manhattan into a rich person's playground or Brooklyn gentrification.

Shame these never get mentioned in the Bloomberg "legacy pieces."

Am I missing any items from Bloomberg's "true legacy"?
